This could be huge! ST2 looks pretty flexible, but so far it doesn't match what I get through TextMate or emacs with their package managers. Both have pretty straightforward package managers that let me pick from a huge list of plugins.
Glad to know that ST2 is on the way to offering similar functionality. Hopefully this will fuel even more community contributed code, which seems to be the real secret sauce of a good editor. Certainly the ST2 developer is outrageously responsive, so the situation should be ripe for contributions.

Did you restart ST2 after pasting the console command? After restarting there should be commands in the command palette that start with "Package Control." If not, go to "Preferences > Browse Packages…" and then look for a folder called "Package Control." If it is not there, there must have been a bug with the download. If it is, look in the console to see if there is a message about Package Control looking for updates.
